I have aquired three old guns in the past few months.
1. Colt 1902 Sporter 38 ACP which has no bluing left on the outside and some on the trigger, when you take off the slide from the reciever it has plenty of original bluing on the inside and the riflings are great and the lettering is really great. I was wondering if I should have it reconditioned or leave it alone and it shoots great.
2. Colt 1903 Pocket Hammer 38 ACP which has about 96% bluing left and shoots great.
3. Winchester 1892 Takedown 32WCF which I do know was manufactured in 1926. Gun has plenty of blueing left on the barrel and case coloring on the hammer and lever but bluing is faint on the reciever mint bore and riflings. I was also thinking about having it reconditioned as well.
Could you help me in valuing these and your opinion on having two of these reconditioned.
Thank You
